Team India brought immense joy to cricket fans with a spectacular six-run win over England at The Oval on Monday in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 series, with the series now tied at 2-2. After a final that exhilarating, it was one of India's most memorable Test wins in England, and the celebrations were equally emotional and electrifying.
The final wicket was taken by Mohammed Siraj, and Bollywood star Suniel Shetty, who was present in the stands on Day 5, was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t restrain himself. The actor was captured on video screaming with joy in the stands. Suniel, together with Ahan Shetty, who is his son, shared videos on Instagram while celebrating India's spectacular comeback together with the fans.
The series was dominated by KL Rahul, who is also Suniel’s son-in-law as well; he was the third-highest run-scorer throughout the series. He scored 532 runs in 10 innings at an average of 53.20, including two centuries and two fifties, with a top score of 137. Under Shubman Gill’s leadership, the Indian team showed great composure and character to bounce back and end the five-match series on level terms.
India’s fightback with bat and ball
After England opted to bowl first, India managed just 224 in their first innings, with Karun Nair’s gritty fifty being the standout. In response, fifties from Zak Crawley and Harry Brook pushed England to 247, gaining a 23-run lead, with Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna taking four wickets each.

India responded strongly in their second innings, posting 396 thanks to a superb century by Yashasvi Jaiswal. That gave them a 373-run target to defend. England seemed to be dominating the game at 317/4 with centuries from Joe Root and Harry Brook, but a sensational late burst from Siraj, Krishna, and Akash Deep turned the match on its head. Siraj’s five-wicket haul was the big moment of the incredible win and still was the highlight of the unbelievable Test series.
